Yeah, I just brought this up in my last message as well. The only way
I can see to solve this for flex units is to actually specify both
values, e.g.,
width: (100px)1*
or something like that....
Flex units are attractive though to me, since if we could make them
work we can eliminate box-flex, box-pack and box-align.
